Show Elephants Routed Armed only with a carpet slipper, slip-per, J. C. Dempsey, an official of Rothwell, England, drove two circus cir-cus elephants from his cabbage patch. They escaped from their trainers and began to cause great devastation in the patch. Councilor Dempsey was at a meeting when a neighbor telephoned: "Elephants are destroying your cabbages. Come at once." When he arrived at his home he seized a carpet slipper and set out for the battle. At first the pachyderms seemed ready for an argument, but a few slaps with the slipper convinced them that they should be on their way. |
